Who’s Tracking You? Use This New Service to Find Out

A new free service called DecryptAds aggregates publicly available adtech data to help users identify who is tracking them across websites and mobile apps. The tool addresses the longstanding challenge of determining which advertising platforms and data brokers are responsible for targeted ads and data collection, information that was previously difficult for consumers to access and understand. DecryptAds simplifies this process by scraping and correlating adtech data, making transparency in digital tracking more accessible to the general public.

Friday Squid Blogging: Neon Flying Squid

The neon flying squid can fly in formation. The shoal of about 100 squid rose unexpectedly from a patch of the Pacific Ocean around 370 miles from Tokyo and glided near the boat for about 30 metres. The astonished researchers were the first to capture photographs of such a thing, which looked like the early stages of an alien invasion. They were probably neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), the subsequent study states, a species that is part of a 20-strong flying squid family that was known to leap from the water but, until then, was only rumoured to also be able to glide above it. The neon flying squid was able to gain such elevation by using the hyponome, a funnel-like muscular organ also present in other cephalopods, such as octopuses. The organ is able to force water out in a jet, propelling the body along both in and out of the sea. Photographs of the gliding squid show them with their arms (they have 10 limbs in all) splayed outwards. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered. Blog moderation policy.
